Advice regarding using 3.5 front end AND 7.0 front end on users' machines

Hello everyone,
We are trying to determine the best way to roll out the new 7.0 front end tools. We are doing a technical upgrade to 2004s first, and later converting all the objects. Initially we plan to have both the 3.5 and 7.0 front end tools both residing on users' pcs, until we convert all objects to 04s.
Does anyone have a recommendation for rolling out the new tools to users, with out the risk of having them accidentally convert objects when they open queries (we have been told that if you open a query in the new tools, it automatically converts the objects). We need to prevent this from happening until we are ready to convert all the objects.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

The most important thing is to use naming conventions (maybe a new naming convention using the new tools). Then set security up to prevent conversion depending on your scenarios. When migrating, it is recommended to be very careful around converting global elements (variables, Global Calculated Key Figures, and Global Restricted Key Figures). Within the RSZCOMPDIR table, there is a version field (greater than 100 is 2004s elements) so you can see the version there as well. It is recommended to migrate all queries within a single infoprovider together to avoid conflicts with global elements.

Using VBA - Check to see if Acrobat Pro is open on users machine

Hello all. I have an Access application that generates a bunch of single page PDF reports in a folder on the users machine, then when it is finished, it combines all of the files into a single pdf file on the users desktop. If the user has left Acrobat Pro open before he starts running the reports, when it begins to try to combine the files, he will get an error message.
I would like to check to see if Adobe Acrobat Pro is open early on in the routine so that the user doesn't have to spend so much time regenerating the reports again. I have not been able to find any VBA code that will do this. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
David

Hello Test Screen Name. I do trap for the error and generate a friendly error message to ask the user to close Adobe Acrobat. The problem is, depending on the criteria they select for the report, it could take 5 to 10 minutes before they ever see that error message because of the hundreds of individual pdf reports it has to generate. It is not until my code is ready to combine those pdf files that they see the message. So, it is not really a runtime error so to speak.
But, I found the answer to my question and wanted to share it with everyone. The answers are located here:
API: Find out if an application is currently running
API: Get Class name of a running app
What I did is paste all code from those 2 pages into a new module in Access. Then I made sure that Adobe Acrobat is loaded on my machine. I ran the sub fEnumWindows() and it printed the Class Names of all of my open programs. I got the class name for Adobe Acrobat, which is AcrobatSDIWindow. Then I modified the select case statement in the following function as so, to include the string acrobat and its Class Name:
[code]
Function fIsAppRunning(ByVal strAppName As String, _
 Optional fActivate As Boolean) As Boolean
 Dim lngH As Long, strClassName As String
 Dim lngX As Long, lngTmp As Long
 Const WM_USER = 1024
 On Local Error GoTo fIsAppRunning_Err
 fIsAppRunning = False
 Select Case LCase$(strAppName)
 Case "excel": strClassName = "XLMain"
 Case "word": strClassName = "OpusApp"
 Case "access": strClassName = "OMain"
 Case "powerpoint95": strClassName = "PP7FrameClass"
 Case "powerpoint97": strClassName = "PP97FrameClass"
 Case "notepad": strClassName = "NOTEPAD"
 Case "acrobat": strClassName = "AcrobatSDIWindow"
 Case "wordpad": strClassName = "WordPadClass"
 Case Else: strClassName = vbNullString
 End Select
 If strClassName = "" Then
 lngH = apiFindWindow(vbNullString, strAppName)
 Else
 lngH = apiFindWindow(strClassName, vbNullString)
 End If
 If lngH <> 0 Then
 apiSendMessage lngH, WM_USER + 18, 0, 0
 lngX = apiIsIconic(lngH)
 If lngX <> 0 Then
 lngTmp = apiShowWindow(lngH, SW_SHOWNORMAL)
 End If
 If fActivate Then
 lngTmp = apiSetForegroundWindow(lngH)
 End If
 fIsAppRunning = True
 End If
fIsAppRunning_Exit:
 Exit Function
fIsAppRunning_Err:
 fIsAppRunning = False
 Resume fIsAppRunning_Exit
End Function
[/code]
Now I can just send "acrobat" to this function to see if the app is open.
Sincerely,
David

How can i take the number of a random process to use it in math´s and show the solution to the user?

i wrote this function and i try to show the number of seconds the user was to early or to late to click the stopbutton to the user.
its about to hit stop intuitiv while in the background ther is a random number already made but the user dont know or see it.
the eyes opens in a random between 100 and 40000 millisec. if they open up the user should click stop without seeing them. so its intuitiv.
i just tryed.
this code is on the mc with the eyes to let them open randomly. it is on the second frame at the main time code. 1st frame is the start button and a small description. on the second the stop button and the closed eyes with the script down here as i already said. and on the 3rd frame is the end wher it should be shown to the user. thats how i tryed. please let me know any suggestions and or other solutions to my problem! If you need to see my flashfile to help me just let me know. i send it to you or something :-)
mic(at)hellrec.at
function randomRange(minNum:Number, maxNum:Number):Number
return (Math.floor(Math.random() * (maxNum - minNum + 1)) + minNum);
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer((randomRange(100, 40000)),1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,openeyes1);
myTimer.start();
var duration:uint = getTimer();
function openeyes1(e:TimerEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay (26);
e.updateAfterEvent();

to save the number use:
function randomRange(minNum:Number, maxNum:Number):Number
return (Math.floor(Math.random() * (maxNum - minNum + 1)) + minNum);
var randomNum:Number= randomRange(100, 40000);
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(randomNum,1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,openeyes1);
myTimer.start();
var duration:uint = getTimer();
function openeyes1(e:TimerEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay (26);
e.updateAfterEvent();
p.s. please mark helpful/correct responses.

Use reporting agent to run and e-mail a query to users

Hi All,
I have a requirement where, I have to use reporting agent to precalculate a BW query and then broadcast the result to e-mail addresses.
Is there any way I can do this?
Please any ideas will be appreciated.

Help with spinning beach ball when I try to open users/accounts in system prefs...I'm using Lion (which I hate) and I need to get into users to change my daughters forgotten password.

Opening system prefs is fine...when I click on users/accounts, the spinning ball appears and eventually system prefs just closes itself down.
I've also had a lot of ? Kernel panics....the grey see through screen slowly drops down, the multi language restart writing appears....I restart and it's just the same.
At the moment it feels like my mac is unusable...should I just uninstall lion and reinstall snow leopard?
So...system prefs help please and
Advice re whether or not to uninstall the annoying lion!
Thanks,
Nicki

IPhone 4 is overheating after seconds of use, brightness won't work, and front camera is frozen. Suggestions as what is wrong?

So one day my front facing camera decided to just not work. I tried the restore and everything possible, it's just frozen.
Luckily the other camera works. Last week, I woke in the morning and used my phone like normal and I noticed it was so hot. I let it sit and it cooled down and then went on my Facebook app, where not even a minute within use started to get extremely hot. My battery life has decreased significantly and my phone also gets extremely hot when charging. The weird this is that whenever I'm making a phone call, It doesn't get hot and my guess is because the screen goes dim. So i tried turning down the brightness on my phone which it became apparent that my brightness switch doesn't work either. I have tried a restore but to no avail..
The fact that my phone is getting so hot so quick really scares me.Has anyone experienced anything similar? Even though the camera not working and the battery issue happened at different times, I thought I should bring it up in case they are in fact related. Thank you all so much.

I happen to be experiencing then same problem again!
I have followed all the steps and my phone will just not come right. I love my iPhone but I have no clue what is going on sometimes it will just freeze in the camera app and I have to restart my whole phone.
I have downloaded another camera app to see if it would make any difference and it hasn't.
Should I take it back to the service provider that I have my contract with and get them to send it in to apple? Because the phone is only 3 months old.
Please Help me or advise me on what to do because I don't want to leave it and it causes more problems.

I'm using FF 3.5.18 and I do not want newer versions because : using in the Open in New Tab page opens the near tab and not as a FF 3.5.18 or is it possible to do that open in new tabs would be the end. of the new FF version

You can change a preference to make tabs open
# at the end of all open tabs
# immediately after the current tab.
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
*Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
*If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
*Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
*Look at the "Value" column ('''false'''=open at end, '''true'''=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
*Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
*Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)

Regarding the Customer Setup for ISA B2B using SAP J2EE 6.4 and NWDS

Hi
Does someone knows how we can setup a customer project using
SAP J2EE 6.4 and NWDS.
I've tried to setup the project but facing a weird problem..
I've ISAWAC640SP11 and ant buildtool to build the application.
I didn't get any "sda_build.xml" in this patch (ISAWAC640SP11).
i've used "sda_build.xml" of ISAWAC40SP11.
I've build the application using build tool but when i try to deploy it
on SAP J2EE 6.4 using SDM i get a weird message stating
"com.sap.sdm.util.sduread.IllFormattedSduFileException: The archive must be deployed with a 6.20 SDM, which has a SDM-SDA compatible version 1 or greater."
Does anyone knows from where can i get the sda_build.xml file compatible with
ISAWAC640SP11 ??
Also can some one suggest me to setup a customer project for extension and
modification of ISA B2B 640 on NWDS and SAP J2EE 6.4....
Thanks & Regards
Sandeep Solanki

Hi,
I am Rajesh..and it seems that you and I are facing the same problem. Well, I am really finding it hard to find material like PDF's files on Build Tool. and ISA Development and Extension Guide.
I would really appreaitate if you could send me some material. Well, My project is very simple and I have been given the task to first submit a simple demo of B2C on R/3 system. ( Not CRM ). I have also installed the NWDS and everything including the ISA WAC Java components. I am having real hard time in modifying them....
Can you please shed light on it...You can also email to me at [email protected]
Thanks in Advance for your kind consideration.
Rajesh.

When I close firefox it doesn't close. I go to reopen it and it says that it is already running. I have to use task manager to end process to close it before i can log back on.

After browsing and I close Firefox it appears to close.
However when I go to reopen it later I get a message that Firefox is already open and I need to close it. The only wany I can close it is by using Task Manger to end process.

Must be the "hang at exit" problem. You already know how to do Step1; now just determine which Add-on (Extension or Plugin) is causing the problem.

I have the problem described in /forums/knowledge-base-articles/704725. (Firefox is already running but not responding). My only solution is to use Task Manager to end the firerfox process. I am the only user and there are no other profiles on my system

Occasionally I have the problem discussed in /forums/knowledge-base-articles/704725 , Firefox is already running. My only fix is to use Task Manager to end the firefox process. At such tmes, I have no other instances running.

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

My phone has lines from top to bottom the screen has nothing , I tried to reset it many times also tried to reset with computer and nothing. I used to tap on it and sometimes it worked but not no more , I even broke the screen and cracked the back so now what ??? this I-phone 4 is the worst phone i have had . I started with the first I-phone tthen the second and third and they were all good , in fact my kids have them now . Since I got the I-phone 4 nothing but problems.and its only A little over A year since i got it

I am having the same issue. ** MY IPHONE IS TURNING OFF RANDOMLY ** and it's driving me crazy.
THE SYMPTOM... I am using my phone fine and then when I go to send a text, take a photo, etc, it just turns off. This started a few weeks ago after upgrading to the new IOS. The 'symptoms' increased in frequency and my phone started turning off more frequently. I took my Iphone to the apple store. They reset the phone to factory standards and the problem still exists.
THE PROBLEM: The guy at the Genius Bar said he knows there is a known software issue, and this looks like it's affected my processor. BUT this was only after I told him that I have been reading about a lot of other people having the same problem.
THE SOLUTION: Are you having the same issue? ... Reply to this post and let me know. If a lot of people are having the same problem, Apple will probably just swap out the phones. My phone is in mint condition except for the new 'problem' its having after I upgraded my software.

Advice regarding how best to collect stats on 10G RAC Production system

Friends,
I have read quite a lot of blogs and docs and need some help with the best way forward. I am a DBA new to RAC who has limited experience with busy 24@7 10g systems on the scale of my current employer.
Historically stats are gathered here as follows :-
exec dbms_stats.unlock_schema_stats('BP');
exec dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(ownname => 'BP', cascade => true, estimate_percent => dbms_stats.auto_sample_size);
exec dbms_stats.lock_schema_stats('BP');
Then Flush shared pool ok ????
Because of previous issues with this - alll tables are currently locked and this process is recommended for every 1-2 months rather than daily.
EM Grid Control is used when performance is poor and the sql tuning advisor is run to generate recommendations from which a sql profile could be selected and enabled for the selected code.
My plan is to bring back gathering of stats every 1 to 2 months, my goal is make sure I can fix things quickly if it all goes to custard !!!!
From research it looks like sql_profile is like a hint and independent of gathering stats - it tells optimiser what hints to use when executing sql.
This thread is for advice from professional dba's in my shoes - how do you approach this so that any issues are quickly rectified ???
My thinking is to query dba_profiles and get list of profiles and statuses ... for all tables with sql profiles ..
This is so profiles can be disabled and then quickly enabled if there is a problem aftewr the tables are analyzed.
To revert all the schema stats :-
exec dbms_stats.unlock_schema_stats('BP');
exec dbms_stats.restore_schema_stats(ownname=>'BP',as_of_timestamp=>sysdate-1);
exec dbms_stats.lock_schema_stats('BP');
To revert a table's stats (this looks more finicky so not sure the way to go ...):-
Pre gather stats :-
select stats_update_time from user_tab_stats_history where table_name = ‘<EnterTabName>’;
exec dbms_stats.create_stat_table ( -‘SCOTT’, -‘stattab_new’);
exec dbms_stats.export_table_stats ( -‘SCOTT’, -‘DEPT’, -null, -‘stattab_new’, -null, -true, -‘SCOTT’);
Then later after gather stats :-
exec dbms_stats.restore_table_stats ( -‘SCOTT’, -‘DEPT’, -’21-JAN-09 11.00.00.000000 AM -05:00′);
Enable/Disable Profile
exec dbms_sqltune.alter_sql_profile('<Profile name>', 'STATUS', 'DISABLED');
exec dbms_sqltune.alter_sql_profile('<Profile name>', 'STATUS', 'ENABLED');
I will do the plan below on a test system first however load may not really identify problems until for real on the Prod system.
My plan is to :-
1 analyze all tables as per outline at start above (existing practice)
2 Disable the sql profiles that are in use on the analyzed tables
3 See what code is affected and what tables
If Profile exists for these sql statements then either apply existing profile (as disabled) or use tuning adviser to create another profile
(Advice welcome here - what do you do on big systems ????)
4 If its a catastrophe - I can restore the schema stats using (exec dbms_stats.restore_schema_stats(ownname=>'BP',as_of_timestamp=>sysdate-1);)
and then possibly re-enabling the sql_profiles that were in place before ....
I welcome any advice based on similar experiences that can help me get this right.
Many thanks,
cheers, Rob

General advice on using SCCM (SMS) to deploy SAPGUI

I was curious for anyone's opinion on the use of Microsoft's SCCM tool for deploying SAPGUI. At our organization, I am hoping to take advantage of this capability so that the SAP technical team is not "too" involved in the day-to-day deployment activities.
Some specific questions:
1. The only way to do this is to create an SAP installation server so that you can then create the single installation package (and then hand it over to SCCM)?
2. Assuming I am correct on #1, to patch the GUI, youu2019d have to patch the installation server and create a new installation package and let SCCM advertise it out (i.e. not make use of any of the SAP techniques (e.g. the new automatic workstation updated).
3. How have you managed the distribution/update of files (saplogon to the u2018newu2019 location, services, etc) on the PCs --- via the package scripting capability of the SAP installer (OSS 1035560)? I had the idea to request this capability of the SCCM team as well!
Thanks for any input!

We have multiple agencies which have thier own method of deploying out to their end users. Mostly through SMS (or whatever it is called now a days) but that is up to the agencies requirements.
Here I will elaborate on your questions and divulge a little of our situation.
1 - Correct. Create a Installation server and build the package. From that package it can be put into a SMS package and deployed. (we use this method)
2 - Yes and also. Yes, you can update the Installation server and re-create your package with the updated patch included. I believe you would also need to remove the SAP GUI to re-install the new with the updated information. My advice would be to utilize SMS to push just the patch from SAP to your end users which will update the existing machines with the already installed SAP GUI. (We use this method)
3 - We utilize the variable SAPLOGON_INI_FILE which you can point the machine to an area of your choice to where your saplogon.ini file is located.
Our use:
We use both the installation server as well as Wise Studio for our package. Installation server creates the SAP GUI deployment. Wise Studio comes in and allows us to set variables and allows us to have a predetermined INI laid on the machine. (We have low speed connections as well as disability users and General users etc. Depending on switches used during the push install or manually, it will drop a copy of the INI as requested which is built into the Wise "wrapper" we created) It also allows us to place SSO information and files, registry info, additional INI's which are specific to our landscape. The Wise installation then calls the SAP GUI installer created from the Installation server. At the end of the GUI install, it places the predetermined INI file over the one created at the point of install. (Keep in mind this is just a brief overview)
I am sure there are other possibilities but these are just from our experiences here. I would have to let others speak to how they perform such operations.

Rules/Advice for use of FCE/iMovie

Reading through many posts seems I find some general rules of thumb not found elsewhere. Thanks in advance for all comments.
For serious video editing work and creation an external firewire HDD is needed, mainly to avoid dropped frames in either FCE or iMovie (iM). The new 20" iMac and external HDD (with 2 firewire connections, for the input device (DV camcorder or DV/SVHS deck) and to the iMac) should be able to run either FCE/iM.
I just did a 45 min project in iM with no noted dropped frames but likely would in much longer projects if I don't get the external drive?
Audio bit rate. Advice I read for iM is that without 16 bit audio the audio gets out of sync in long projects--does FCE also need 16 instead of 12? Not knowing this need, I've recorded a number of projects (with a DV deck and a DV camcorder) in 12--can I capture to the iMac/external HDD in 16 if I'm playing from a source tape that's 12?
Chapter Markers. Seems there are "Rules for Chapter Markers" that I won't repeat here but suspect they apply to both FCE/iM when used with iDVD. Do those rules apply when you use DVDStudio instead of iDVD? One rule I haven't seen yet is that one should likely not use the apply chapter markers option in iDVD as it could apply a marker that violates the "rules" and cause strange results in the DVD when played, right?
Any other rules or concerns I've missed--perhaps always max out on RAM even if its rather costly? What other basic tips or secrets should I know for editing with these products?

I'll just cover a couple of your points:
Hard drvies: Internal HDs are actually a better choice, overall, than external ones .... if you have the option to have a separate HD for your Scratch Disc. You should not be storing your meids (your video) on the same disc where FCE lives, in other words, your system disc. Also, space is important; you should never let your scratch disc (your media disc) get too full. I think the reccomendation is something like you should always have 25% of that disc free. So, if you can do that with an internal, go ahead; if not, an external is your only option
RAM: More RAM is good; if you can, I would go up to at least a Gig but this would be more for other apps or running multiple apps at the same time. I ran my G5 on 512mb RAM for a year with few probs (BTW, I'm a pro wedding editor) FCE performance is more determined by Processor speed than RAM anyway
Dropped frames: Lotsa reasons for this but some ways to avoid it is to not have a lot of sequences open at once, lowering your RT settings, not running programs in the background, etc
Audio: As Ian already suggested, the rule for bit rates in FCE is to keep it all the same, so even any music you import should be resampled as a AIFF that matches your sequence ie all 12 bit or all 16 bit. Frankly, I don't know why someone would shoot in 12 bit; it is a lower quality sample rate. Some peeps do it cuz their particular cam allows them to acces other audio tracks in 12 bit; audio tracks you probably wont be able to capture in FCE anyway. At any rate, just keep that sampling rate all the same and you should not have any probs with sync.
Another key point in FCE that when you do your final export, you have to mixdown your audio. From Edit, Select All then go Sequence>Render Only>Mixdown
Chapters: Basic rules for this in FCE is you can't have a chapter marker less than one second away from the beginning or end of your program. I think iMovie has probs if you place a chapter marker right on a transition; FCE is more forgiving but I tend not to do this too much, it doesn't look very neat in playback. When you set your chapter markers, don't forget to select the Chapter Marker option in the submenu and don't erase the <Chapter> heading: that does not show up in your export. When exporting, make sure nothing is selected in your timeline and use Export as Quicktime Movie and select Chapters from the pulldown

Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac. I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11. Is that the cause of the problem? Please advise. Thanks.

Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
